[olug] OT: Used Routers

[Sam Tetherow]

Two others not on your list of alternatives are Imagestream 
www.imagestream.com and Mikrotik (www.mikrotik.com).  Both are linux 
based.  Not sure if Imagestream has any wireless options but Mikrotik 
does wireless fairly well.  Both are highly configurable and both have 
custom shells that sit atop linux.  On Imagestream you can actually get 
down to a shell.
